Are we doing crimes when scrapping data online? For example public available music? (jeferson.me)

I'm trying to get to a reason on this, but my point reach to a limit.

I've the feels that scraping the internet for public accessible data, like for example open and public music on Spotify wouldn't be a crime, but the distribution would be. At the same token, this is seem as a crime, while Google does the same and nothing happens, even worse, if this get regulated, Google would have a huge advantage on anyone else.

So, my deeper question is: "Is copyright dead?"

Glad we understood our points of view. I honestly didn't know how to express myself better. And thank you as well staying calm without the typical forum toxicity. :-) I guess there is not much else to discuss about this particular point anymore, as we cleared any prior misunderstandings up.

Ultimately, the law is there, the execution is not.

    Yeah... maybe the revision shouldn't be on the law itself, but on the fact that the economic power can easily translate into law/gov power and this could be a major issue... But this is a total side-step on the topic... And another thing to my already dizzy mind to think about it :D
